ABSTRACT
Jeavons syndrome is a rare generalized childhood epileptic condition characterized by eyelid myoclonia with or without absences. Other features of the syndrome include photosensitivity and electroencephalography [EEC] findings
An eight-year-old male was referred to the pediatric clinic from the ophthalmology clinic with a chief complaint of repetitive abnormal eye movements. The patient did not exhibit any photosensitivity but his EEG was diagnostic for primary generalized epilepsy. Treatment with levetiracetam revealed significant improvement
